To His Excellency, Mr. Ilham Aliyev, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan
Dear Ilham Heydar oglu, dear brother,
I sincerely congratulate you, my dear Brother, on your convincing victory in the presidential election held in the Republic of Azerbaijan at a high level. I am infinitely delighted to convey my best wishes to you.
The comprehensive support for your candidacy from the population in this election is a vivid testimony to the boundless trust of your people in the strategic programs and plans you have put forward. I would speak the truth if I say that this is directly related, first and foremost, to the full restoration of Azerbaijan's territorial integrity and the establishment of historical justice, as well as to the ongoing large-scale reforms and constructive work in your country in all spheres.
Under your leadership today - as a truly wise leader of your people, a patriotic and dedicated prominent political figure - the Republic of Azerbaijan conquers glorious heights, its authority grows, and trust in it on the international stage increases. Undoubtedly, your activities in this high position will contribute to the comprehensive strengthening of the foundations of statehood and the modernization of society, further raising the living standards of the population, and ensuring the socio-economic development of the country.
Dear Brother, I would like to emphasize in this regard that our high-level active contacts in recent years and close brotherly relations between us, specific projects, and "roadmaps" implemented have given a powerful impetus to our mutually beneficial relations.
I believe that the current year, declared, as we agreed, as the year of dynamic development of multifaceted relations between Uzbekistan and Azerbaijan, will see the complete implementation of our ambitious plans aimed at strengthening cooperation in ten new areas, including the chemical, oil and gas, mining, energy, electrical engineering, jewellery, mechanical engineering, pharmaceuticals, construction materials, banking, and financial sector.
With our resolute political will and joint efforts, I am certain that our long-term strategic partnership will continue to develop fruitfully for the mutual benefit of our fraternal peoples.
Undoubtedly, Your Excellency's future visit to our country will elevate our multifaceted and friendly relations to an entirely new level, in line with our current potential and capabilities.
Esteemed Ilham Heydar oglu, once again, I warmly congratulate you on this significant victory. I wish you robust health, inexhaustible strength, family happiness, and great success in your highest state activities, and the brotherly people of Azerbaijan peace, prosperity, and continuous progress.
Respectfully,
Shavkat Mirziyoyev
President of the Republic of Uzbekistan
